NEW YORK RUNNING PARTNERS: Retiring to a life of golf and shuffleboard in Florida is not exactly what former CPTC President Norman Goluskin had in mind. In addition to his 100k (62 mile!) race in Italy this past year, Norman has also played a very active role during these, his "golden years," in introducing running to the students of New York City's inner city middle schools. Many of us New Yorkers on the Club got our start in our sport in the Public Schools Athletic League many years ago. Unfortunately, the funding for these programs has long-since disappeared. Norman's efforts with the NYRRC and the New York Running Partners have already been equally rewarding to coaches and athletes alike. New York Running Partners is looking for additional coaches to help roll this program out to more Middle Schools in NY City. If you are interested in participating in this wonderful program and are available during late afternoons during the week, please let John Kenney know at 212 -519-4380. More information can be found at the NYRRC website under the New York Running Foundation.

HELP OUT DO SOMETHING!: This note comes from Eve Kaplan: "As some of you may know, I work for Do Something, a national non-profit organization dedicated to developing and recognizing youth as leaders in their communities via curriculum and projects that foster community development. Brittanica.com (yes, the online version of those famous encyclopedias!) has announced that Do Something will be the recipient of $1.00 (one dollar) for everyone who logs onto their site (www.britannica.com), selects Do Something as their charity of choice, and registers. Registration is easy – just your name and email – and you can even select "Do not send me info" if you don’t want to be bothered. Do Something is in need of financial support so we can continue to foster the development of the next generation of leaders. So, PLEASE GO TO www.britannica.com and REGISTER FOR DO SOMETHING AS YOUR CHARITY!! Thanks. P.S. you can also check us out at www.dosomething.org"

I perform allergy testing of all types and provide optimized medication regimens. Also available: cutting-edge allergy shot treatments that maximize the benefit and are much more convenient for the patient than older regimens. Most insurance is accepted.
